You comment lumps a large group together as stupid because you disagree with them......how progressive!

If a place tells you in advance they don't want guns on their premise why is that such an issue? It's about respecting someone else property.

That wasn't what I asked. If someone doesn't obey federal/state gun laws and other things like don't rob/murder what makes you think they'll obey a request by a private place? SO no police allowed then too right they also have guns.....

Wednesday, June 04, 2014 3:00:35 PMMy question is, How do you expect law abiding citizens to know which gun carrying idiot is lawful and which one isn't? Personal places of Business should be able to say "no" They don't know you are a good guy or bad guy.

It's who you induce fear against. Induce fear agaisnt the Gov. then yes Gun lobby gets more influence and sway. Induce fear against these guys carrying weapons in public than no they want to remove what they see as the threat. They're inducing fear against their cause not for it.

Wednesday, June 04, 2014 1:30:42 AMAs far as I'm concerned, you should have to pass an intelligence test by at least a triple digit IQ score to be allowed to own a firearm. I'm sick of the inbred morons making ALL gun owners look like idiots and I'm ready to throw them under the bus just so they don't fudge up my rights.

That would actually make me feel safer. "Sorry sir, but you're too stupid to own a gun. Here's your sign."

Tuesday, June 03, 2014 4:22:47 PMThe NRA has always supported gun safety. There's a side that wants to paint a picture that they're crazy or in it for money which is kind of ironic looking at this sides record. BTW I'd be more concerned about people hiding weapons than those displaying them.

Tuesday, June 03, 2014 12:35:27 PMWell, it gets attention, that's a plus! But like the "extreme feminist" exhibitions of the 70's it's probably "over the top" for most folks.

Also: These people undoubtedly support "concealed carry" correct? HOW can one rally showing that? Eh? Think about it: a rally for concealed carry where you cannot SEE any guns? So they hold an "open carry" rally That makes sense to me!

Tuesday, June 03, 2014 10:21:05 AMopen carry should be not allowed within city limits. there is no need to carry a rifle down main street besides a parade. i cant believe the NRA finally started caring about the rest of the population.

Tuesday, June 03, 2014 8:47:12 AM@Crakr, I agree it's definitely not the best way to win friends, but I'd say that inducing fear has been quite successful in terms of influencing a wide variety of people.
